BackgroundThe association between serum potassium and prodromal Parkinson's disease (PPD) remains unclear currently.ObjectiveThe ultimate goal is to gain a deeper understanding of the implications of this association between serum potassium and PPD.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective cross-sectional study involving 1035 participants in PPMI cohort. Age, sex, education years, race, body mass index (BMI), calcium, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, lymphocytes, neutrophils, serum uric acid, serum sodium, serum potassium, creatinine, serum glucose were obtained from all participants. Logistic regression, and smooth curve fitting were utilized to substantiate the research objectives.ResultsThe overall PPD was 83.4 % (863/1035). Multivariate odds ratio regression adjusted for risk factors demonstrates a 1-unit increment in the serum potassium raises the risk of PPD by 1.82 times, respectively. Smooth splines analysis suggested an inverted U-shaped association between serum potassium and PPD (P nonlinearity ConclusionsThis study highlights the association between serum potassium levels and the risk of incident PPD, independent of confounders. The association between serum potassium and PPD is inverted U-shaped, the threshold value is 4.479 mmol/l.
